Alcaraz loss against Jarry. It was not expected as result but personally I have seen him a bit "tired" in his game playing.
Sinner will play today against De Minaur. Australian player has lost all match against him but moreover he has never won a single set in 4 matches ... Odds as usual very low (Italian bookmakers @1.22)
Thanks to the Final Sinner will reach the third place in ATP Ranking. This is a record also for all Italian tennis player
Yeah, Alcaraz losing in the semi was a huge surprise (also for bookies I guess). All in all, Carlitos doesn't look that hungry anymore, has he achieved all his life goals already? Money, fame, World #1 at such a young age...
Dubai WTA is live starting today. Russian tennis prodigy Mirra Andreeva unexpectedly lost to Peyton Stearns of the USA 2:6, 6:2, 1:6. For the world nr.65 it's just the second time in her career she beats a top50 player.
Another unexpected result is Ekaterina Alexandrova losing to Magdalena Frech 6:7, 3:6.
Tons of interesting matches coming up today including Paolini v Haddad Maia, Mertens v Tsurenko and Kenin v Cirstea.
Are we not all to harsh on Alcaraz? The guy is only 21 years and he is going through a period that not all things are going his way. It happens to all of us and I am pretty sure he will recover from this losses. The pressure on him and expectations are very high and that is not always easy to handle also.
Yes maybe, maybe he is training differently and trying new techniques and building
on shots or maybe there is a motivational lapse, or he will be winding up closer to
the French open, he is still a very sought after guy, former #1 and currently #2. Maybe
we shouldnt be on his case or worried for him.
Sinner did it again.
He is now number 3 in the world.
Do you think he can reach number 1 in the upcoming months?
Yea it was a very close match eventhough it was over in 2 sets, they were able to break
each other on a few occasions and some long rallies with super shot making.
#1 - yea maybe, it depends on what tournaments Djokovic plays and what Sinner can win,
I'm not sure how far away he is on the #2 spot, maybe we get an ATP update tomorrow on points?
